New York Leads the Way
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has officially weighed in on DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act. Schneiderman filed a friend of the court brief in opposition to the law, which creates a federal definition of marriage.
The state of New York has long recognized out-of-state, same-sex marriages and the enactment of the Marriage Equality Act further cements our state’s position on this critical civil rights issue. My office will fight every day to defend the fundamental guarantee of
The Paladino Threat
Fringe lunatic Carl Paladino has almost zero chance of becoming the next governor of New York – but all of his hate-spewing along the campaign trail still matters.

On the agenda – or rather, on HIS agenda, since the legislators are not legally required to address anything they don’t want to – are: Paterson’s $5.2 billion two-year deficit reduction plan, gay marriage and the spending cap/circuit breaker proposal.

MYD Delivers The Goods–Again!
The marriage equality bill is at the top of the Governor’s active list for the day. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in a very unhappy Senator Ruben “I Won’t Stand For A Vote On Homosexual Marriage” Diaz Sr.:
Considering the disaster that was yesterday’s extraordinary session, it’s unclear what motivated Gov. David Paterson to call for a do-over today and then up the ante by
